Settings

General

Four controls and two notes: which destination the app opens on, whether iOS may refresh widget data in the background, the small taps as you move about, and how clocks are written.

Open on

A menu naming the destination Managerr opens on. There are five choices, one for each destination the app has: Home, Library, Calendar, Activity and Seerr.

The requests destination is named Seerr throughout the app — in the tab bar, in the iPad sidebar and in this menu — so that is what the menu says here too.

This adds nothing and hides nothing. All five destinations stay reachable however you set it; the only thing that changes is which one is selected when the app launches. The default is Home, which is the screen that reads across every server you have connected.

Background App Refresh

A switch, on when the app is installed. The note under it reads: “Refresh widget data while Managerr is in the background and this device is unlocked. iOS chooses when to run based on battery, usage and Background App Refresh settings.”

Read that as a request rather than a schedule. Turning it on gives iOS permission to wake Managerr and fetch fresh widget data; it does not say when that happens, or promise that it happens at all. The system weighs battery, how often you open the app, and what else is asking for the same favour.

There is a setting above this one. Background App Refresh in the iOS Settings app overrides this switch entirely — off there means off here, whatever this screen shows, and Managerr cannot ask past it.

With the switch off, widgets update when you open the app. That is the reliable path either way: if a widget looks older than you expect, opening Managerr and completing a successful refresh updates the saved data.

Haptic feedback

A switch, on when the app is installed. It controls the small taps you feel as you move between destinations and on some controls.

It is a feel preference and nothing more. With it off, no gesture, button or screen behaves differently — the app is quiet under your thumb. Turn it off if you find the taps busy, or if you share the device somewhere that a buzz is unwelcome.

Use 24-hour time

A switch, and the one control on this screen that ships off.

Left off, your device’s region setting decides how times are written, which is what most people want: change the region in iOS and Managerr follows without being told. Turned on, it forces 24-hour clocks everywhere in the app, whatever the region says.

Changing it rebuilds the widgets at the same time, so a widget on your Home Screen switches format with the app rather than sitting in the old one until something else refreshes it.

The screen carries a second note, about where those widgets come from: “Add Managerr widgets from your Home Screen. Find Managerr actions in Shortcuts.” Neither is added from inside Managerr — see Widgets, Shortcuts, iPad & Mac for the four widgets and what the Shortcuts actions can do.

How it ships

Every control on this screen, with the value a fresh install starts from.

None of the four needs saving. Each writes as you change it — see Settings overview.
